Shuuji Hanamoto

Serving as a dedicated professor at a Tokyo art university, this wise yet occasionally nervous mentor acts as a protective guardian to his cousin, Hagumi. Having grown up as her primary father figure, he remains deeply devoted to her happiness and artistic success. Although he lacked immense creative talent during his own student years, his supportive nature helped classmates like Rika and Harada. While he offers profound guidance, his characteristic stutter and anxiety occasionally surface during moments of tension.
